TABLE D: VOCABULARY
Chapter 3 Section 1:
Scientific Notation: A method to express large numbers, based on the powers of the base number 10.
Accuracy: A measure of rightness. Accuracy is capable of providing a correct reading or measurement. A measure is accurate if it correctly reflects the size of the thing being measured. It refers to how closely a measured value agrees with the correct value.
Precision: A measure of exactness. This means it is repeatable, reliable, getting the same measurement each time. This also refers to how closely individual measurements agree with each other.
Significant Figure: The figures of a number that express a magnitude to a specified degree of accuracy, rounding up or down the final figure. Also, they are numbers in a measurement that could be repeated consistently if the same measurement is repeated again and again.
Measurement: The size, length, or amount of something, as established by measuring. Also is a unit system of measuring.
Error: A measure of the estimated difference between the observed or calculated value of a quantity and its true value.
Percent Error: This is a formula used to find the inaccuracy of a measurement. Formula: absolute value of the error / accepted value x 100%
Experimental Value: This is the value that is measured in a lab.
Accepted Value: This is a correct value based on valid resources and references.
Chapter 3 Section 2:
International System of Unit: A revised version of the metric system.
Meter (m): the fundamental unit of length in the metric system.
Liter (l): A metric unit of capacity. The volume of a cube measuring 10 centimeters on each edge.
Kilogram (kg): The basic SI unit of mass
Weight: a force that measures the pull on a given mass by gravity.
Temperature: The degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object.
Celsius scale: sets the freezing point of water at 0 C and the boiling point of water at 100C.
Kelvin scale: A scale of temperature with absolute zero as zero and the freezing point of water is 273.15
Absolute zero: The lowest temperature that is theoretically possible, that is the zero point on the Kelvin temperature scale equivalent to -275.15 C (3.2)
Energy: The power derived from the utilization of physical or chemical resources
Joule (j): The SI unit of energy.
Calorie: The energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water through 1 °C.
Chapter 3 Section 3:
Dimensional Analysis: A problem-solving method that uses the fact that any number or expression can be multiplied by one without changing its value. Also, its a method for comparing the dimensions of the physical quantities occurring in a problem to find relationships between the quantities without having to solve the problem completely.
Conversion factor: An arithmetical multiplier for converting a quantity expressed in one set of units into an equivalent expressed in another. Also is a ratio of equivalent measurements.
Scientific Notation: Scientific notation is the method of displaying am extremely large or small number without all the extra zeros. It is done by writing the number with the decimal point after the first nonzero digit and then multiplying it by ten to the power of however many spaces you moved the decimal. If you move the decimal to the right it is a positive exponent and if you move it to the left it is a negative exponent. http://www.kylesconverter.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/scientific-notation-1.jpg
Accuracy and Precision Accuracy and Precision in measurement are two different things. Accuracy: is how close you are to the actual measurement. --a measure of rightness. --means "capable of providing a correct reading or measurement." A measurement is accurate if it correctly reflects the size of the thing being measured. --refers to how closely a measured value agrees with the correct value. Precision: is how close all of your measurements are to each other. --a measure of exactness --means “repeatable, reliable, getting the same measurement each time.” --refers to how closely --individual measurements agree with each other. Here is an example to help you understand:
